Rough Simulation of SRS vs. Traditional Review

i'd love to see this kind of visualisation with anki or other SRS software. shouldn't too be too hard to implement either. maybe if you could click on individual facts as displayed so you could see which were the ones you were forgetting so much...

shame this video was not scientific, it seems somewhat biased towards SRS cause I am certain that I forget much more often with SRS than this video suggests.

@emxhc Yeah, it definitely is a loose representation. For example, one thing it doesn't take into account is that brand new facts entered into the SRS not only tend to be forgotten more quickly, but also more frequently. It might take like 3-5 reviews to actually get a new fact from 1 - 2.

This is the coolest thing I've seen for quite a while! I usually try to introduce SRS to students and it works most of the time, but having a visual representation like this to complement the words is really awesome. Thanks!

This is incredibly neat!
